Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mick Spanner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Lauzon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spanner might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Seven Drunken Nights - The Dubliners. 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.
