Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Victor Banuelos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bart Yager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bart Yager struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.8lbs 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
