Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Herbert Kreischer (ranked 575 p4p, 825 weight class) and Huber Schlesien (ranked 33 p4p, 40 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kreischer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bert Learns To Hip-Hop Dance To Post Malone. 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?
