Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Craig Stephens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsoko Chikatchawan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stephens might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Renegade by (hed)PE. Chikatchawan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Animal kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
