Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Donald Castillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seigi Ozeki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donald Castillo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Seigi Ozeki has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Donald Castillo's chin.
