Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kusok Govna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Govna might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Morbid Angel - Day of Suffering. Perry has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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?
