Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bad Azz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Likienstine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Azz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Like a G6. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
