Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Tick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jerry Seinfeld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Tick theme song. 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?
