Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Calico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bearach Cunningham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Calico might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Heat--J.U.I.C.E.. Cunningham is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Scotland the Brave and the Green Hills of Tyrol. Bearach Cunningham told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
