Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Belo Me (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Threpoynt Wonforr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Threpoynt Wonforr struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Haverford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nir Sosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
