Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bily Got (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Killa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mike Killa struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.1lbs 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 these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
