Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muhamad Alli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arturo Cano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alli might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to De la Souls, by POS. Cano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Disembodied. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
