Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Thibodeaux Jr. (ranked 827 p4p, 1948 weight class) and Moritz Zimmerman (ranked 107 p4p, 248 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.
