Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bod Zio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Crier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Old Mcdonald had a farm. Crier has chosen Red Hot Chili Peppers - Get On Top as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
