Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Paiva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rusty Shackleford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paiva comes to the cage accompanied by 2001 : Oddysey. Rickson Paiva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rickson Paiva could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rusty Shackleford's chin.
