Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Angel Concepcion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Concepcion might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Descent. Masilungan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dying Inside kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
