Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dado Mata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nash Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mata might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 和楽器バンド / 千本桜. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
