Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manoel Candelabro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ike Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Candelabro comes to the cage accompanied by Perfect. Manoel Candelabro had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Ike Taylor has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Manoel Candelabro's chin.
