Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bornas Lopette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scot Goodbarrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lopette might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Back from the dead. Goodbarrel has chosen The Rumjacks - An Irish Pub Song as his entrance music. 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.
