Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Za Beast (ranked 5904 p4p, 5138 weight class) and Alessandro Diaz (ranked 547 p4p, 510 weight class). Alessandro Diaz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.5lbs 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. Alessandro Diaz will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
