Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Dance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Graham Ritchie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dance might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roy Jones Jr - Cant Be Touched. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
