Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lutz Knitter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brothers Johnson - Get The Funk Out Of My Face. Lutz Knitter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
