Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sandu Lungu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buster Napoleon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lungu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Ain't Stoppin Me. 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.
