Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mark Corrigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neculai Costel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Corrigan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Teardrop. Costel has chosen Ain't No Sunshine as his entrance music. Mark Corrigan has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
