Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ruiner Barnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Dardar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barnett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to canceled forever. Dardar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Trial by Fire. Jesse Dardar is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
