Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Callum Tweedie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Newman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tweedie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Snow Patrol - Chocolate. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
