Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Muhammed Castro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zamanda Nebaba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muhammed Castro had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.9lbs, 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. Muhammed Castro has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
