Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Siqueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksander Kosowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Siqueira might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thousand Foot Krutch - Courtesy Call. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
