Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Orndorf (ranked 4619 p4p, 548 weight class) and Carlos Anderson (ranked 4779 p4p, 560 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Orndorf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wrecking Ball - Andrew Baena. Anderson has chosen Everyday Bro-Team 10 as his entrance music. Daniel Orndorf has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
