Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rockford Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Proctor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knight might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Stars that Play with Laughing Sams Dice by Jimi Hendrix. Rockford Knight could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Michael Proctor's chin.
