Main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tanaka Matsuda (ranked 32 p4p, 252 weight class) and Kareem Johnson (ranked 5 p4p, 31 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Matsuda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gojira - Another World. 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.
