Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Crow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Wooten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mgk- Spotlight. Wooten has chosen Judas Priest- You've got another thing coming as his entrance music. 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.
