Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Gronkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gronkowski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Glory. Mike Hunt has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
