Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dalern Hardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mal Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reynolds is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can't take the sky from me. 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.
