Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Night Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryley Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War. 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.
