Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pithe Canthropus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Canthropus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pizzaman - Trippin' On Sunshine. Pithe Canthropus could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ryan Taylor's chin.
