Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Floyd Patterson (ranked 408 p4p, 9 weight class) and Archie Trew (ranked 978 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Patterson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Llama In My Living Room. The crowd seem to be enjoying Trew's choice of entrance music: Fuck You - Lily Allen. 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.
