Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Baltasar Halko (ranked 4523 p4p, 151 weight class) and Dzoko Dzoker (ranked 4905 p4p, 158 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Halko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Lumberjack by Jackyl. 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.
