Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fincent LeBlond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leung Ting (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LeBlond might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kari Tapio - Olen Suomalainen. 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?
