Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonard Skinnard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominic Ferrari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Skinnard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Free Bird. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
