Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Darren Myles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myles comes into the arena with Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop blaring out of the sound system. Bradley has chosen Doesn't Remind Me -Audioslave as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
