Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Howard Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eels - The Mighty Boosh. 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?
