Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gillechriosd McCoy (ranked 240 p4p, 1912 weight class) and Sambo Sam (ranked 38 p4p, 255 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCoy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to YxngB - The Irish. 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.
