Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Youngho Kwak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lou Nahtic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kwak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brown Eyed Girls - Satisfaction. 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.
