Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Benito Vasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abhidi Sharma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vasquez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Linkin Park- Numb. Sharma has chosen Meditation 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.
