Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bomani El Hazad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomani El Hazad had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Bomani El Hazad could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ronald Williams's chin.
