Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rady Remigio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krejzi Madafaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Remigio comes to the cage accompanied by Tubthumping. Krejzi Madafaka struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.0lbs 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. Krejzi Madafaka will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
