Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Andr De Fran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl De Groot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Fran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No Worries. De Groot is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: London. 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.
