Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Niedzwiedzki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ceasar Tomson Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Niedzwiedzki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nirvana - You know you're right. Tomson Jr has chosen Gangsta Bounce 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.
