Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Toral (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James McFist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toral might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amerika. Jimmy Toral looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
