Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shed Seven - Bully Boy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Savage's choice of entrance music: the scatman. Glenn Benton could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Sid Savage's chin.
