Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Hatton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kees Flodder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hatton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Da Rockwilder by Redman & Method Man. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
