Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alejandro Mora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Connor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine by Ray Venture. Mora has chosen Seven Nation Army as his entrance music. John Connor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
