Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Gallagher (ranked 1199 p4p, 162 weight class) and Wilhelm Strauss (ranked 1235 p4p, 166 weight class). Gallagher comes to the cage accompanied by Drunkin' Lullabies by Flogging Molly. Strauss is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Root Of All Evil. 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.
