Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Niko Sirkiä (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dice Thunderborn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sirkiä might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thergothon - Elemental. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
