Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krayzie Bone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Banana Fly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thuggish Ruggish Bone. 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.
