Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cesar Filho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bum Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filho comes into the arena with Californication blaring out of the sound system. Cesar Filho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
