Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rainbow Brite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Collin Glorious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brite might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rainbow Brite. The crowd seem to be enjoying Glorious's choice of entrance music: Rick Ross ft Weezy - I'm a G. 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.
