Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mad Child (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Sousa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Child might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Broken Mirror. Sousa has chosen Ratamahatta as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
