Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bosko Brute (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brute might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to his teams song. Brown has chosen Cassidy & Jag - Cashin Out as his entrance music. Anthony Brown has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Bosko Brute's chin.
