Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Teppo Tuhkasaari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ren Rothschild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tuhkasaari might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Proteus - Full Metal Jacket. Teppo Tuhkasaari has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
