Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hendo Janari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drunken Terror (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Janari might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Airbourne - Let's Ride. Hendo Janari could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Drunken Terror's chin.
