Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jessy Dentler (ranked 2913 p4p, 2441 weight class) and Shaka Zulu (ranked 347 p4p, 294 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dentler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie. 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.
