Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Equinox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Antona might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Laid to Rest by Lamb of God. Aydine Antona could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to John Equinox's chin.
