Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lauri Torni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boba Fett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Torni might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon. Boba Fett has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
