Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between David HasselhON (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Python (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Python has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. David HasselhON has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
