Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Montgomery Nagendra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Ratajczyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nagendra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mozart - Lacrimosa. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
