Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Synyster Gates (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lidel Castro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gates might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nightmare. The crowd seem to be enjoying Castro's choice of entrance music: one blood - the game. Synyster Gates has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
