Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jake LaMotta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brewster Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LaMotta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo. Brewster Burns has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
