Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nutty Poe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Quinn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to All About the Roosevelts. Dan Quinn will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
