Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Biff Hemlock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and San Lucas Mussolini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hemlock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Champagneros. Mussolini has chosen You gonna git bombed as his entrance music. 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.
