Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Delo Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoshimora Chiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Delo Santos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Resort. Chiba is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Angel of Death. 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.
