Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaban Demidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Evans might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Emoyrean Mercenaries. Kaban Demidov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
