Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lukasz Wieczorek (ranked 1722 p4p, 1618 weight class) and Devin Ecker (ranked 250 p4p, 231 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wieczorek might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kryzesimir Debski - Husaria Ginie. Ecker is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Where The Hood At?. 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.
