Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tom Araya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rice Boyd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Araya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angel of Death. Tom Araya looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
