Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Flay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taborda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New Noise by Refused. Flay has chosen Iron Chef as his entrance music. 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.
