Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Burdon Ambler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sub Rage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burdon Ambler had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Burdon Ambler has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
