I'm tempted to watch the IFC. A few good names on the card.

That Israel card sounds insane.

Ricco weighed in at 215. Manager said his knee flared up again 2 days ago, and he battled a staph infection about a month ago. It doesn't bode well for his performance.

This is on Go Fight Live tomorrow afternoon, but on demand Wednesday. I'll be at work when it's live, but I might order it after.

Ricco missed weight. lol. funny he misses weight in the best shape of his life. If you get what i mean. 215 is impressive for what he did weigh at his worst.
