Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Braden Rush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Learmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rush comes to the cage accompanied by Final Countdown. Learmont is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Deftones - Feiticeira. 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?
