Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luke Daigle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikael Lindel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Daigle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Above The Law . Lindel has chosen Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best as his entrance music. 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.
