Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randy Lahey (ranked 2613 p4p, 2590 weight class) and Ford Van Der Livery (ranked 325 p4p, 324 weight class). Van Der Livery has chosen Symphony No. 9 (E Minor) 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.
