Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fabian Bohn (ranked 961 p4p, 1587 weight class) and Teddy Dalrymple (ranked 148 p4p, 222 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bohn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brennan Heart - One Blade (Noisecontrollers RMX). Teddy Dalrymple is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
