Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Hortz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bart Meesters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bart Meesters struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.8lbs 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. This should be a great matchup!
