Co-main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Icaro O Voador (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ador Manny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Icaro O Voador had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.8lbs, 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. Ador Manny will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
