Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marlo Stanfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Cuervo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stanfield might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Legendary. 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.
