Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rex Gunn (ranked 65 p4p, 59 weight class) and Edson Bidon Barbosa (ranked 12 p4p, 9 weight class). Gunn comes to the cage accompanied by Miami. 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.
