Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Swade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reynolds might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fire and Rain. Swade has chosen Lange - Songless (Club Mix) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
