Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Craig Clendennon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Panikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clendennon comes to the cage accompanied by LoFidelity Allstars - Battleflag. Panikov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fighters. 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.
