Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Sharpe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teppo Tulppu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sharpe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Russian Unicorn. Teppo Tulppu told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
