Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Martin (ranked 5280 p4p, 23834 weight class) and Carl Sagan (ranked 528 p4p, 636 weight class). Jorge Martin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
