Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bob Holley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ted Zanik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Holley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beer - Ou its good. Zanik has chosen Walk this way as his entrance music. Ted Zanik will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
