Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Lott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chico Corrales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corrales comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lets Stay Together - Al Green kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Chico Corrales struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.3lbs 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. Chico Corrales will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
