Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greek Gyros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stand Bang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gyros might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Greek Gyros. Bang has chosen Mike Tyson clip from Hangover as his entrance music. Greek Gyros could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Stand Bang's chin.
