Reply to AKAI MPD18 as midi fighter

Hi guys, first thread here

so, I'll be getting an Akai MPD 18 from a friend of mine pretty soon, and I was wondering, since it has the same 4x4 button grid as the Midi-Fighter, will the midi-fighter mappings work on it just the same as they would with an actual midi-fighter?

here is a link to the Akai website: http://www.akaipro.com/mpd18

thanks in advance,
