Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nate Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cristiano Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz comes to the cage accompanied by Tupac Last Muthafucka Breathin. Machado has chosen Capítulo IV, Versículo 3 as his entrance music. Nate Diaz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Cristiano Machado has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Nate Diaz's chin.
