Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Conor Tiernan (ranked 714 p4p, 83 weight class) and Damiao Marcos (ranked 194 p4p, 26 weight class). Tiernan comes into the arena with Tartanic - Unavoidable - 09 BAllZ/Ringworm blaring out of the sound system. 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.
