Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kon Sai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitch Mitchel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sai comes to the cage accompanied by Made In Thailand.

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.
