Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Homer Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Martinez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Puya -- Sal Pa' Fuera. Homer Simpson has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jesus Martinez's chin.
