Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Holloway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felipe Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patrick Holloway had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.8lbs, 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. Patrick Holloway has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
