Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kewl Guyseen (ranked 3698 p4p, 6180 weight class) and Luca Rossi (ranked 442 p4p, 570 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Guyseen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dollar Wine by Colin Lucas. Rossi has chosen Lamu as his entrance music. Kewl Guyseen has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
