Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jokubas Antukis (ranked 5752 p4p, 4857 weight class) and River Waters (ranked 517 p4p, 478 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Antukis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Terminator" - Sevendust. Waters has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jokubas Antukis is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
