Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Phil Ewen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ewen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to We Were Soldiers. Jonathan Banks has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Phil Ewen's chin.
