Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Herb Krison (ranked 25 p4p, 39 weight class) and Angus MacArthur Ii (ranked 6 p4p, 7 weight class). Krison comes to the cage accompanied by Rebelution. MacArthur Ii comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Corvus Corax - Bibit Aleum kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
