Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fanis Bartko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Sputnik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bartko comes to the cage accompanied by Marpo - Muay Thai. Fanis Bartko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Fanis Bartko has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
