Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arstan Selmy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDonald might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Machine Head - Locust. Arstan Selmy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
