Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Santos (ranked 938 p4p, 125 weight class) and Pieter Daan Mostert (ranked 2505 p4p, 299 weight class). Jorge Santos had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
