Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Drake Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bakung Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monk is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: X Amount of Words- Blue October. Drake Bradley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Drake Bradley has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
