Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gustav Line (ranked 72 p4p, 174 weight class) and Drizzt Do Urden (ranked 14 p4p, 33 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Line might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Heavy Metal we will die!. Do Urden has chosen Junna Through the fire and flames 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.
