Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bogdon Haze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilbert Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Haze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mother. Gilbert Hernandez will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
