Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dudley Bradshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murphy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Warrior's Code. 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?
