Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maddox Hurst (ranked 3339 p4p, 2659 weight class) and Kelvin Santos (ranked 185 p4p, 163 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hurst might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I See a Darkness - Johnny Cash. Kelvin Santos has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Maddox Hurst's chin.
