Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aleksander Kawulski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arn Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kawulski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DMX - Slippin'. Arn Anderson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
