Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Liam McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edinger Nucleus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuiness might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Boys are Back by Dropkick Murphys. Edinger Nucleus has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
