Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Julian de Rijger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santiago de Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago de Silva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.9lbs 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
