Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Micheal Bisset (ranked 5682 p4p, 4955 weight class) and Senor Submission (ranked 620 p4p, 585 weight class). Micheal Bisset had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Senor Submission has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Micheal Bisset's chin.
