Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Afonso Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Afonso Ferreira had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
