Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cavan Cartwright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Irvin Welch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cartwright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Irish Fighting Song. Welch has chosen Iggy Pop - Lust for life as his entrance music. Irvin Welch is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
