Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Collin Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaleb Aslan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thompson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 24s. 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.
