Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jose Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genki Dama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aldo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Jon "Snap Yo Fingers" ft Sean Paul & E-40. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
