Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacoby Cash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikael Sjoberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cash might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Between Angels and Insects. Mikael Sjoberg has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
