Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vino Kourov (ranked 2238 p4p, 2505 weight class) and Mateo Hernandez (ranked 154 p4p, 174 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.
