Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Peter McBain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chevy Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McBain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy. 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.
