Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luca Blight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blight might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Suikoden II - The Chase. 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?
