Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Siegel (ranked 2553 p4p, 218 weight class) and Walter White (ranked 2777 p4p, 235 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Siegel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coolio ft. L.V - Gangsta's Paradise. 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.
