Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ric Landeverde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nunca Subestime O Palmeiras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Landeverde might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. Nunca Subestime O Palmeiras told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
