Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dalton McConnell (ranked 1468 p4p, 1719 weight class) and Billy Cubbedge (ranked 222 p4p, 276 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McConnell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Reason. 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.
