Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ali Cali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramdhani Lestalahu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cali might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Never Say Die. Ramdhani Lestalahu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
