Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Danny Duff (ranked 3070 p4p, 327 weight class) and Mateusz Biernat (ranked 1121 p4p, 138 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe. Biernat has chosen Someday as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James McGuire (ranked 1899 p4p, 242 weight class) and Dmitry Ovchinnikov (ranked 1564 p4p, 201 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuire might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
