Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jean Charles Skarbowsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Skarbowsky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lux Aeterna. Henderson has chosen Open The Floodgate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
