Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Robert Frost (ranked 2328 p4p, 1937 weight class) and Ramon Escobar Chavez (ranked 144 p4p, 116 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Frost might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SETH ECT - B.L.A.S.T. Escobar Chavez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Buena Vista Social Club - Hasta Siempre. 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.
