Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fabian Bohn (ranked 1379 p4p, 537 weight class) and Duncan Farquharson (ranked 180 p4p, 73 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bohn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brennan Heart - One Blade (Noisecontrollers RMX). Duncan Farquharson is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
