Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gotrek Gurnisson (ranked 910 p4p, 972 weight class) and Richard Castillo (ranked 89 p4p, 94 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gurnisson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pride Is The Devil - J Cole. Castillo has chosen Sepultura - Attitude as his entrance music. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
