Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 752 p4p, 632 weight class) and Ko Van Den Born (ranked 108 p4p, 93 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuire might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Confederate Railroad - Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind. 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.
