Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Cillian (ranked 3043 p4p, 24803 weight class) and Ricky Alvarez (ranked 362 p4p, 485 weight class). Ricky Alvarez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
