Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Herman Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitchell Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Holmes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to F**king Hostile. Joseph has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Mitchell Joseph told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
