Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seamus Hunter (ranked 2156 p4p, 263 weight class) and Aaron Smith (ranked 3988 p4p, 433 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hunter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Veins- Huntr . Smith is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lonely Train by Black Stone Cherry. 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.
