Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Neno Coxinha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colin Maguire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Neno Coxinha had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.5lbs, 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. Neno Coxinha could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Colin Maguire's chin.
