Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Goldberg Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire. 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.
