Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mad Dog Malone (ranked 2445 p4p, 4088 weight class) and Shane Murphy (ranked 327 p4p, 504 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between White Privilege (ranked 1334 p4p, 2843 weight class) and Joe Smo (ranked 178 p4p, 377 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Privilege might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to John Denver - Country Roads. 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.
