Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cole Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richtor Schkayle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jamison might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to My Last Serenade by Killswitch Engage. Schkayle has chosen Fast Lane as his entrance music. Cole Jamison could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Richtor Schkayle's chin.
