Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tom Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Phillips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ramblin' Gamblin' Man . 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.
