Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rip James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Biff Buffington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think James might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to What's the difference. Biff Buffington will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
