Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Boothe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devon Randlecan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boothe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tyler The Creator - Yonkers. Devon Randlecan is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
