Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Piru Parka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marvon Del Bosco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to . Del Bosco has chosen Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train as his entrance music. 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?
