Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boniface Randriamaholison (ranked 1033 p4p, 949 weight class) and InSaen Chai (ranked 135 p4p, 125 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Randriamaholison might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Careless Whisper (Remastered). InSaen Chai has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
