Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Anabolinen Steroidi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Pudzianowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steroidi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Michael Jackson - Billie Jean. 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.
