Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Helix (ranked 1073 p4p, 1234 weight class) and Mike Preston (ranked 142 p4p, 146 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Helix might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Whitechapel - Fall Of The Hypocrites. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
