Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Albert Einstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Payette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Einstein might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angra - Mystery Machine. 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.
