Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Army (ranked 274 p4p, 40 weight class) and Seamus Farrelly (ranked 646 p4p, 91 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Army might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vagina Coastguard. 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.
