Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roysten Davids (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Schembri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roysten Davids had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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 will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
