Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bigi Boi Chai (ranked 453 p4p, 1425 weight class) and Abelardo De Leon (ranked 28 p4p, 67 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirt. De Leon has chosen Mercenary - F.O.O.L. & Power Glove as his entrance music. 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.
