Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wes Ekwall (ranked 1446 p4p, 1918 weight class) and Dick Dastardly (ranked 47 p4p, 63 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ekwall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enter the Sandman. Dastardly is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DIRTY by- Christina Aguilera . 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.
