Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Giant Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Anka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burns might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down With The Sickness- Disturbed. Kalle Anka will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
