Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brian Leonard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikael Tronko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leonard's entrance music is Lonely Island - Like A Boss. A fine choice. Brian Leonard had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Brian Leonard has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
