Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jermaine Cruz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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 these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
