Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobba Sapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and ethan hawke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sapp might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SHAFT- Isaac hayes. 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.
