Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Szyslak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Sibelius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Szyslak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica-Enter Sandman. Jean Sibelius has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
