Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Wesley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Capone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wesley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to T.I Ft. Eminem - All She Wrote. Christian Wesley could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tim Capone's chin.
