Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Leston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horst Weissmueller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leston might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BigB - Hooligan. 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.
