Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Elijah Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phan Benjawan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hart might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Is Amish!. Benjawan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: It Comes and It Goes. 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.
