Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Markku Mannersormi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Utter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Utter has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
