Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Uno Skibbo (ranked 1663 p4p, 3301 weight class) and Tim Bits (ranked 222 p4p, 367 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murha Puro (ranked 979 p4p, 517 weight class) and Harbin Casbon (ranked 136 p4p, 72 weight class). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
