Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fabouzi Massu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Mirc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mirc comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bring Da Pain kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Anton Mirc struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
