Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Farr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Avalon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Farr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welsh National Anthem. Avalon has chosen Harder Better Faster - Daft Punk as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
