Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khuchtei Bokhchuud (ranked 1391 p4p, 871 weight class) and Violent Femme (ranked 38 p4p, 24 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bokhchuud might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ErgeSholee Biste Turda. Violent Femme has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Khuchtei Bokhchuud's chin.
