Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thurgood Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Kyzer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins comes to the cage accompanied by Mary Jane. Kyzer has chosen All of the Lights as his entrance music. 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.
