Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Gallagher (ranked 712 p4p, 97 weight class) and Arsteen Berghen (ranked 4088 p4p, 405 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gallagher might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drunkin' Lullabies by Flogging Molly. Berghen has chosen Iivo x Likanen Etelä Kerro Miten Se Menee v Heinis, Köyhä Jonne & Sairas T as his entrance music. Arsteen Berghen is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
