Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Pedro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liam McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuiness comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Boys are Back by Dropkick Murphys kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
