Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samuraimo Rassi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Farid Abdellaoui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rassi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Samurai Jack- Mortal Kombat. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
