Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Swish Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samy Radjansky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hogan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In the end. Radjansky has chosen Suriname Music as his entrance music. 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.
