Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jones Linderman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nogueira might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Artigo 157. Antonio Nogueira could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jones Linderman's chin.
