Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Knox Yodsenklai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yodsenklai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Traditional Wai Kru. Boy has chosen Everclear - The BOYs are back in town as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
