Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raistlin Lovelair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ash Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ash Williams struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.2lbs 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. Raistlin Lovelair has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
