Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Coolpunch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bigg Hugg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coolpunch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Man From Manila by Francis Magalona. Bigg Hugg will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
