Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Abbott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Braxton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abbott comes to the cage accompanied by Cigarettes And Alcohol. Braxton has chosen "Choke" by Vision of Disorder as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
