Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lancett Cridle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Strummer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cridle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit. Lancett Cridle could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Joe Strummer's chin.
