Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iwan Matwijenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Matwijenko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hас баxamo!. John Thomas told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
