Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Dryupp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zedicus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has chosen Heroes as his entrance music. Ricky Dryupp had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.8lbs, 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. Zedicus Jones has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Ricky Dryupp's chin.
