Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dilbert Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwight Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chavez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When Worlds Colide by Powerman 5000. Grant is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Beanie (Mack B****). 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.
