Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rick Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phillip Merki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

He only made it down to 186.1lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
