Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Maximus Furioto (ranked 183 p4p, 196 weight class) and Mister Mediocre (ranked 27 p4p, 30 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Furioto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ้ป่ธๅ็ตๅ - . Mediocre has chosen The Champ Is Here! as his entrance music. Mister Mediocre will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
