Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Atticus Finch (ranked 520 p4p, 912 weight class) and Boko Haram (ranked 52 p4p, 86 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Finch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
