Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Mulligan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daley Bornstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mulligan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Primus-- Wynonas big brown beaver. Bornstein has chosen Men at Work - Land Down Under as his entrance music. 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.
