Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abduwali Hassan (ranked 1115 p4p, 870 weight class) and Rob Roy (ranked 105 p4p, 80 weight class). Rob Roy struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.5lbs 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. Rob Roy has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Abduwali Hassan's chin.
