Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eugene Gael (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sameh Mahmoud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gael might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shinedown - Sound Of Madness . 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.
