Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maurice Kilmers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronin Samurai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maurice Kilmers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Ronin Samurai enters the cage!
