Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sol Goldstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. Sol Goldstein came in at 136.8 and James Ferreira came in at 137.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get with the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an affect on the fight. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
