Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rico Ramano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Bizzel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramano comes to the cage accompanied by Not Ready to Go. Bizzel comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Beggin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mike Bizzel struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
