Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Neto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rory Flannagan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Neto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Orgasmatron. Rory Flannagan will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
