Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Mars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelly Olynyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mars might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Solaar Pleure by Solaar. Olynyk has chosen Jag - Versace 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.
