Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kjell Dillon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butter Bean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dillon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pipes & Drums 1st Battalion Scots Guards. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
