Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jose Cronos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kota Kamiya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cronos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm. Kamiya has chosen Muse - Supremacy as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
