Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gigant Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hogan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Real American. 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.
