Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jakub Dvorak (ranked 6383 p4p, 3023 weight class) and Mario Santos (ranked 469 p4p, 290 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dvorak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to On another level. 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?
