Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kid Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You are just a JOKE!. Stephen Williams struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.8lbs 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
