Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauro Okongwu (ranked 281 p4p, 622 weight class) and Deon Big Daddy (ranked 41 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Okongwu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Show Stop - REASON. Big Daddy has chosen Big Daddy Kane - Smooth Operator 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.
