Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Reed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ash Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Motörhead - Bomber. Ash Williams struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.3lbs 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. This should be a great matchup!
