Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Zhen Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michele Mancinelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zhen Long had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. The key to victory for Zhen Long has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
