Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bernard Toney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toney might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tenacious D - Master Exploder. 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?
