Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zell Griever (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Farell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griever might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to X-Files Theme. Farell has chosen Gang Starr - Full Clip as his entrance music. 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.
