Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Ja Greco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rico Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greco comes to the cage accompanied by target=blank>Jesus Fucking Christ. Tony Ja Greco looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
