Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Fourie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lino Bastardi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fourie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ''Not Afraid'' by Eminem. Bastardi has chosen Indestructible- Disturbed as his entrance music. 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?
