Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Agni Kapila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tatti Tasapaksu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kapila might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SGX - Composer. Tasapaksu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Motorhead - Smiling Like A Killer . 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.
