Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Antero Wursty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maarten Van Der Moot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wursty might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - The Skull Beneath The Skin. Maarten Van Der Moot has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
