Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Minowa Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francisco Frankelstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minowa Man had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.5lbs, 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. Francisco Frankelstein will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
