Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Manoel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manoel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hino do Flamengo. Antonio Manoel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
