Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eswin Juarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Clubus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eswin Juarez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Christopher Clubus has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
