Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Shlemenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Kahn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shlemenko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Omarion Ft. Chris Brown & Jhene Aiko - Post To Be. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
