Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Ray Miranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Micky Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miranda comes to the cage accompanied by I'm Not Alright from Shinedown. Micky Ward struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs 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. Micky Ward 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!
