Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cobb Nash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Atlas Klaat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nash might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dry the River. Cobb Nash could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Atlas Klaat's chin.
