Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Kerns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ian Topps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kerns might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Hurt. 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.
