Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Reckless (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reckless might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No Heroes by Converge. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
