Main event

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anssi Randi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Herbert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Randi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DMX - Party Up. Herbert has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Anssi Randi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
