Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Delano Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thompson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New York. Mason Kane will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
