Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Ohlrich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genichiro Tenryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ohlrich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Biz Markie's- Just a Friend. Genichiro Tenryu has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
