Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bastyn Dall (ranked 346 p4p, 46 weight class) and Mike Lowe (ranked 376 p4p, 51 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bride - Beast. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
