Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Artur Tamm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riley Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tamm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Seth Sentry - Hell Boy. Artur Tamm had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Artur Tamm has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
