Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Disis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Spat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Disis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Polly Jean Harvey - Angry Johnny. Jack Spat struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.9lbs 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. The key to victory for Johnny Disis has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
