Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Miroslaw Jazminski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Raging Fist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raging Fist is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: T. Miroslaw Jazminski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.9lbs, 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.
