Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bertrand Russel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bodies. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
