Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Garcia (ranked 608 p4p, 1808 weight class) and Ramdin Bolsdeep (ranked 78 p4p, 238 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garcia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to S.G. Sinnicks - St Patrick Battalion. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bolsdeep's choice of entrance music: Sir Psycho Sexy, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. . 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.
