Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nahka Vitonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vitonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Klamydia - Junttihinttirunkkari. Mir has chosen Spoilin For A Fight as his entrance music. Frank Mir has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
