Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kayaki Chonin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahmad zinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chonin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fedor Entrance Song. Ahmad zinger has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
