Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matteo Boretti (ranked 332 p4p, 48 weight class) and Yuri Loel (ranked 400 p4p, 57 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boretti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon. Loel has chosen Stronger as his entrance music. Matteo Boretti could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Yuri Loel's chin.
