Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Wilson (ranked 1306 p4p, 549 weight class) and Kirill Semenov (ranked 149 p4p, 69 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wilson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Painkiller. Kirill Semenov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
