Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dzoko Dzoker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne Hubbard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aldon Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hubbard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rehab......drinkin problem. Smith has chosen Big Rich ,San Quinn & Boo Banger- San Francisco Anthem as his entrance music. 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.
