Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chris Ronald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Captain Foolio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Ronald had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.7lbs, 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. Chris Ronald has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
