Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Memphis Wilcox (ranked 3892 p4p, 3831 weight class) and Bean Fiend (ranked 250 p4p, 246 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
