Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gustavo Fring (ranked 435 p4p, 58 weight class) and Alika Hakekia (ranked 1030 p4p, 126 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fring might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bamboleo by The Gypsy Kings. Alika Hakekia has the eye of the tiger tonight.
