Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gomer Pyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Glozman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pyle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Marines' Hymn. Glozman is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by enae Volare Mezzo. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
