Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roman Kvasov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Espiridion Araya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kvasov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Diskoteka avaria-Nebo. Roman Kvasov could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Espiridion Araya's chin.
