Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurt Uzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poochyena might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Uzi has chosen Slayer - Angel of Death as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tamias Poochyena could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Kurt Uzi's chin.
