Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royston De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludvig Landersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Noteboom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rotting Christ - Snowing Still. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
