Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fabio da Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Leite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fabio da Cruz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
