Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Carl Gregson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gregson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Let The Bodies Hit The Floor by Drowning Pool . Alex Rivera will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
