Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnum Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Goguryeo Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gunn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to State of Massachsetts-Dropkick Murphys. Kim is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cunninlynguists - Lynguistics.
