Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alvarez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome To The Family - A7X. Ryan Jacobs is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
