Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dick Gozinia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Fallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gozinia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Put it in Your Mouth - Akinyele. Ben Fallon will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
