Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davis Davies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Borislav Vovchanchyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Davies might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wars Of Islam. Davis Davies looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
