Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Corrida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sud Saming (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Corrida might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shadowhunter. Saming has chosen Enter the Tiger 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.
