Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marat Magomedov (ranked 476 p4p, 62 weight class) and Jallu Pesonen (ranked 721 p4p, 88 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magomedov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Persecution of the Masses. Pesonen has chosen DJ Orkidea - Joutsenlaulu as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
