Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Meho Sirovica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fullsize Mirror (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Mirror has chosen Ordinary Guy--- Blue Scholars 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.
