Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Jiro (ranked 241 p4p, 10 weight class) and Timo Juti (ranked 854 p4p, 17 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jiro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Game of Death. Ken Jiro has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
