Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cono McGregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Bastien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGregor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to foggy dew. Bastien has chosen Started From The Bottom as his entrance music. Cono McGregor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
