Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tapater Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duddy Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hordes Of Chaos. Tapater Rua looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
