Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan O Brian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and jake mear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryan O Brian had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Ryan O Brian could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to jake mear's chin.
