Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zorba The Dancing Buddha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holy War (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Dancing Buddha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Zorba Time. 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?
