Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Moni Cvetkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JT Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cvetkov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Teletubbies. Moni Cvetkov could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to JT Jackson's chin.
