Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Urho Itaniemi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Lindros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Itaniemi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Volbeat - Still Counting. Urho Itaniemi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Eric Lindros's chin.
