Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johny Hendricks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirill Malkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hendricks's entrance music is $50 and a flask of crown. A fine choice. 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.
