Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Devon Collins (ranked 934 p4p, 1368 weight class) and Vasil Dankovich (ranked 118 p4p, 157 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Collins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Name of the Game" Crystal Method. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
