Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Clem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roland Box (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Full Trucker Effect. 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.
