Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rem Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duke Nukem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nukem has chosen Duke Nukem Jam as his entrance music. Rem Dos Santos had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.7lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
