Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arturo Gonzaga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernest Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gonzaga might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to i kill people. Miller has chosen The Greatest as his entrance music. 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.
