Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sacka Potatoes (ranked 1955 p4p, 3198 weight class) and Romeo Olah (ranked 229 p4p, 363 weight class). Romeo Olah struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
