Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kaiji Inoue (ranked 821 p4p, 1012 weight class) and Lynton Miller (ranked 102 p4p, 119 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Inoue might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ladies and Gentlemen (Saliva). 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.
