Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Brophy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brophy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Caress/Green Hell - Metallica. 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.
