Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ragnarok Laturi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Simon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laturi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Amarth - Guardians of Asgaard. Simon has chosen Down With The Sickness as his entrance music. Ragnarok Laturi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Steve Simon's chin.
