Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Mustaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ikki Minami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mustaine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Day We Fight! by Megadeth. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
