Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Strongback (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Chaci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Strongback might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to See See Rider by Elvis. Tony Chaci has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Billy Strongback's chin.
