Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phil DeBlunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre The Giant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think DeBlunt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Westside Connection - Bow Down. Andre The Giant has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Phil DeBlunt's chin.
