Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Iberico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexis Moyanao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivan Iberico had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
