Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Via Dios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dios might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm. Davis has chosen Crash by 12 Stones as his entrance music. 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.
