Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ron Damon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Byson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Damon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dies Irae. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
