Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rian MacFarlane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Konna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacFarlane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Foggy Dew. Rian MacFarlane could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Antti Konna's chin.
