Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Foles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cockenschtuff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus. Foles has chosen Jedi Mind Tricks - Deathless light as his entrance music. Nick Foles will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
