Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chrystov Aleksey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Love might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Afterworld. 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?
