Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between My Girl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastien Linne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Girl comes into the arena with My Girl blaring out of the sound system. Linne has chosen Arcturus - The Chaos Path 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.
