Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Pandora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Domingo Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Domingo Perez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
