Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jani Ketola Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Becker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Masta Ace - Sittin On Chrome. Bruce Becker could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jani Ketola Jr's chin.
