Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aadyn Gibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lesnar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to False Pretense. Nick Lesnar could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Aadyn Gibbs's chin.
