Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pal Hasani (ranked 2063 p4p, 228 weight class) and Desmond Lewis (ranked 2183 p4p, 245 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hasani might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipknot - Duality. 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.
