Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damien Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannibal Lecter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lecter comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Til I Collapse kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
