Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abraham Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donowitz comes into the arena with JEW FLOW blaring out of the sound system. Hopkins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Manny Pacquiao - Lalaban Ako . 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.
