Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rick Mills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jukebox Timebmb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rick Mills had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. Rick Mills looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
