Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Onizuka Stresemann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ira Stein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stresemann might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Takashi Sorimachi - Poison . 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?
