Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 1047 p4p, 3838 weight class) and Martian Manhunter (ranked 56 p4p, 184 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Farrokhzad might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Iranian Baloch - This Is A Catch. Manhunter has chosen My Name Is J'onn J'onzz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Martian Manhunter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
