Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kid Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cowboy Cerrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cerrone has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
