Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Burke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorick Spana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burke comes to the cage accompanied by Discoboys - I came for you. Lorick Spana struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.0lbs 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 Solomon Burke has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
