Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Putte Ro (ranked 800 p4p, 915 weight class) and Arturo Ellacuria (ranked 65 p4p, 76 weight class). Ellacuria has chosen The Boss- James Brown as his entrance music. Arturo Ellacuria struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs 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. Putte Ro could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Arturo Ellacuria's chin.
