Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Golles (ranked 3782 p4p, 19345 weight class) and Felix Krnacova (ranked 388 p4p, 522 weight class). Felix Krnacova struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs 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. Peter Golles has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
