Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesh Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Crazy Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masilungan comes to the cage accompanied by Heaven Hell. Dog is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by For U Phoenix Marrizle . 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.
