Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Remy Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fifo Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Valentine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - I'm Broken. Remy Valentine could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Fifo Ortiz's chin.
