Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Samarun Por Kvartir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Acckiy Barcuha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samarun Por Kvartir had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
