Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Akerfeldt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tammelan Fasaani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Akerfeldt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Opeth - Deliverance. Tammelan Fasaani has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
