Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert McArthur Jnr (ranked 34 p4p, 46 weight class) and Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 5 p4p, 8 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McArthur Jnr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to barbarian pipe band. Lõhmus has chosen Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
