Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ameri CanChopper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Punani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Palmer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (Fuck The World). 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.
