Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Von Erich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uriah Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Von Erich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to La Grange. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
