Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nobuhiro Nakamura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvador Saballe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nakamura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Breathe. Saballe has chosen In My City as his entrance music. Nobuhiro Nakamura could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Salvador Saballe's chin.
