Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ludvig Eriksson (ranked 4422 p4p, 3443 weight class) and Drew Peacock (ranked 504 p4p, 422 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Eriksson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to THICC THICCLY. Peacock has chosen John Williamson - True Blue as his entrance music. Drew Peacock will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
