Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Bera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Parasite :D . 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.
