Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Danze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee. Bob has chosen Notkea rotta - Itä meidän as his entrance music. Billy Danze has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
