Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Agapito Sanchez is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iosue Nicu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Chuvalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nicu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. 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.
