Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Harper Quarry (ranked 2825 p4p, 2819 weight class) and Jack Saragih (ranked 174 p4p, 173 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Quarry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Devil Went Down to Georgia (Eurobeat Remix). Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
