Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between David Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ariel Piechocki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Souza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Los Porongas - Silêncio. Piechocki has chosen Thunder as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rob Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rob Ramirez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Rob Ramirez could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bruno Ferreira's chin.
