Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lynton Miller (ranked 98 p4p, 190 weight class) and Domenico Mazziotti (ranked 15 p4p, 29 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tool - Sober. Mazziotti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Welcome to the party - Pop Smoke. 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.
