Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Mercer (ranked 1509 p4p, 4387 weight class) and Buzzard Leonard (ranked 161 p4p, 373 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mercer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Why Can't We Be Friends by WAR. Buzzard Leonard has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
