Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Payne Stewart Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Azato Yasutsune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stewart Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac feat. Styles P - Pain. 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.
