Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ismail Saidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Jayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saidov comes to the cage accompanied by Shamhan Daldaev - Eto Kavkaz. Jayne comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Doors-People Are Strange kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ismail Saidov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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.
