Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kieran Mistry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry O Leary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mistry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hurt. The crowd seem to be enjoying O Leary's choice of entrance music: one day like this. Kieran Mistry has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
