Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike McGuire (ranked 20 p4p, 21 weight class) and Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 5 p4p, 6 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuire might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jekyll And Hyde. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lõhmus's choice of entrance music: Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
