Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khalid Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clyde Renato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hayes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Flight of Icarus. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
