Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Torres (ranked 61 p4p, 1308 weight class) and Powder Puff (ranked 7 p4p, 147 weight class). Puff is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Side to Side. 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.
