Lyoto vs Rich and Lyoto vs Bonnar?

Although Heath Herring was well known, this chubby russian dude was brought in to be dismantled by Heath who would then go on to fight Nog for the HW title but something went a little wrong with those plans. Watch the fight with Bas commentary, knowing what we know now it's hilarious.



"To prove to myself to be the best I need to beat the best, right now that's nogueria. Fedor is the first step to get to Nogeuira, it's very important for me to win to get that next step and fight against Nogeuira"
