Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Sterling (ranked 1561 p4p, 1704 weight class) and Tyres Widforss (ranked 148 p4p, 163 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Korolev (ranked 398 p4p, 631 weight class) and Haitian Ginger (ranked 57 p4p, 86 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Korolev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Holding Out For A Hero (EuroMash). Alexander Korolev could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Haitian Ginger's chin.
