Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anton Wasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sonneillon Theliel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wasa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to UK Subs - Warhead. Sonneillon Theliel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
