Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Captain Gonza (ranked 579 p4p, 55 weight class) and Eddie Gelfen (ranked 2833 p4p, 293 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gonza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mononoke Hime. 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.
