Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tony Kazarian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marty Laguna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kazarian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Limp Bizkit - My Way. 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.
