Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sakes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Palmer Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sakes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rock Me Sexy Jesus -Jesus Himself. 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.
