Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Chavo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Fatorachi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chavo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rico Sauva by Girardo. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sean Fatorachi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
