Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyle Kilke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kilke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Domination - Pantera. Drake comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sweep The Leg kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Lyle Kilke could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Thomas Drake's chin.
