Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Igor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Candy Paint. Igor Igor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
