Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matt Bacon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Galaganokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bacon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scissors For Lefty - Softly The Sea Swallows The Sun. The crowd seem to be enjoying Galaganokas's choice of entrance music: Iron Man. Johnny Galaganokas will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
