Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Valle (ranked 1553 p4p, 2027 weight class) and Jacques Chaize (ranked 177 p4p, 216 weight class). Valle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Faraon Love Shady - Mi Cunumi. Jacques Chaize struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.2lbs 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. This should be fireworks!
