Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adron Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scotty Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to On the Eve of War. Nguyen has chosen Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH 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.
