Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vitaly Dunaytsev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jouko Viljanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vitaly Dunaytsev had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Vitaly Dunaytsev had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
