Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lars Thunstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ayo Anoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thunstrom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Spitfire. Anoy comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Massive Attack - Teardrop kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
