Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Louis Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Valdo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Evans might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Panasonic Youth by The Dillinger Escape Plan. Valdo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Eminem - Go To Sleep. Leo Valdo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
