Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jerome Alviso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cris Holloway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alviso might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Oakland. Holloway has chosen Real American 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.
