Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sylwester Goryl (ranked 1342 p4p, 2878 weight class) and Salvador Orivarez (ranked 166 p4p, 328 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goryl might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dziwki Dragi Lasery. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
