Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Martin Fannon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Clark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fannon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kill Em All. Clark has chosen The Final Countdown as his entrance music. John Clark is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
