Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marduk Mendor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ari Velazquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mendor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring it on. Velazquez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Since the Flood-. Ari Velazquez will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
