Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Christopher McCormick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amun Ra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCormick comes into the arena with Shipping up to Boston blaring out of the sound system. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
