Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iiro Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demien Omen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tolonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash : The Man Comes Around. Demien Omen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
