Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Myton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Yoyo. Ryan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Girlfriend kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
