Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Clubber Lang (ranked 35 p4p, 156 weight class) and Ken Vrjalya (ranked 5 p4p, 22 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Каспийский Груз - Табор уходит в небо. This should be a great matchup!
