Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bob Koff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nickolas Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nickolas Diaz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.9lbs 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 really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
