Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Bush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seventies Blackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bush might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rotten Sound - Maggots. 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.
