Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Smit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Art Vandelay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smit might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't be Touched. Vandelay has chosen Street Fighting Man by The Rolling Stones as his entrance music. Art Vandelay has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
