Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Boyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akimbo Jabbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boyle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superman Theme. Akimbo Jabbar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
