Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Drake Retso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Dagani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dagani has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
