Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hiro Nagano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Cavalcante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Junior Cavalcante 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. Hiro Nagano could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Junior Cavalcante's chin.
