While it may not be the undercard to Pacquiao-Bradley, there were a few blows delivered during Dolphins practice today, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

The fight participants were offensive lineman Jake Long against defensive lineman Olivier Vernon, plus another OL versus DL battle with Richie Incognito taking on Ryan Baker.

“I wasn't very happy we lost two players in a drill," Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin told the Palm Beach Post. “That can be a critical time in a game. You have to be able to keep your poise and play. It’s great to be tough, it’s great to be physical. . . . It’s 15 yards, loss of down, clock, all those things. So yeah, there was good competitiveness, but you’ve got to be smart.”
