Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paul Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bradley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rule Britannia. Johnson has chosen "Stay Strapped" by Young Jeezy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jimmy Johnson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Jimmy Johnson enters the cage!
