Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Scofvanot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Albert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scofvanot might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Killing in the name . Albert has chosen Godsmack! as his entrance music. Scofvanot has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Greg Scofvanot has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
