Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Reece Daniels (ranked 2866 p4p, 296 weight class) and Tim Sanchez (ranked 4568 p4p, 419 weight class).

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.
