Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Optimus Rimes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noah Puckerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rimes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson. Noah Puckerman has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Optimus Rimes's chin.
