Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Angus McLoughlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Agni Kapila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McLoughlin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cadence to Arms. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kapila's choice of entrance music: SGX - Composer. Angus McLoughlin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
