Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Dick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Capone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Conquer All. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
