Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Augusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Augusto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool - Let The Bodies Hit The Floor. Bruce Lee is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
