Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gegard Mousasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Evans might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I need Scissors!. Mousasi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pweization. Gegard Mousasi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
