Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Nevkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Good (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nevkov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saliva - Ladies and gentlemen. Hugo Nevkov looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
