Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Milat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dog might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beat It. Crazy Dog had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Crazy Dog has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
