Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rick Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kamil Zygan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward comes into the arena with Tap Out blaring out of the sound system. Kamil Zygan told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
