Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Martinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaygo Rivaldo de Davids (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryan Martinsson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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. Ryan Martinsson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
