Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Logan Barrengarry (ranked 609 p4p, 659 weight class) and Agent Smith (ranked 80 p4p, 89 weight class). Barrengarry kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Young Crazed Peeling by The Distillers. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
