Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bad Kharma (ranked 2191 p4p, 1862 weight class) and JD Drake (ranked 69 p4p, 58 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kharma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hong kong fooey theme song. Drake has chosen Born in the USA by - Bruce Springstein as his entrance music. JD Drake has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
