Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Estafire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kayaki Chonin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Estafire comes to the cage accompanied by Bomb Hands- Social Code. The crowd seem to be enjoying Chonin's choice of entrance music: Fedor Entrance Song. Kayaki Chonin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Rocky Estafire has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
