Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sabian Sabes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlito Sandalio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sabes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Army of Darkness. Sandalio is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: World's Greatest. 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.
