Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shiny Aoki (ranked 362 p4p, 45 weight class) and Taz McKane (ranked 465 p4p, 54 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aoki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Big Scoob - Bitch Please Ft B - Legit , E- 40. Shiny Aoki could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Taz McKane's chin.
