Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andokuhle Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Selby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniel Selby struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.0lbs 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. Andokuhle Congo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
