I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mitch Pitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pitch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superfreak. 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.
