Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sandro Filcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinto Rage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sandro Filcic 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. This should be fireworks!
