Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mak McLovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Power House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McLovin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Love Gun, Title: KISS. House has chosen Die MF Die as his entrance music. Power House has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
