Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hendrik Vermeulen (ranked 695 p4p, 93 weight class) and Angelo Mendez (ranked 936 p4p, 127 weight class).

Angelo Mendez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
