Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Royler Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arma dillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Royler Gracie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.

Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
