Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brooklyn Brawler (ranked 1133 p4p, 163 weight class) and Ken Shamrock (ranked 3247 p4p, 419 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brawler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beastie Boys- No Sleep till Brooklyn. Ken Shamrock will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
