Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Martin Lundblad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joao Oliveira struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.3lbs 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!
