Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dejong Brong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konrad Marcinkiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Allallalallalong. Konrad Marcinkiewicz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
