Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Overbury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fredo Parish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Overbury might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rule Britannia. 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.
