Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvi Rausku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to drop the world. Rausku is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Notkea Rotta - Taas Lähtee Taju . Arvi Rausku has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
