Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dominick Rivaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johann Joensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rivaldi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Joker's Wild. Joensen has chosen Gasolina 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.
