Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between King Jong Bwang (ranked 9039 p4p, 686 weight class) and Ibrahim Camara (ranked 8680 p4p, 677 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bwang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Liberation. 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.
