Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Grant Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Handle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I get Knocked Down. Handle has chosen Right On 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.
