Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luis Helguera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Michnal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patrick Michnal struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs 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. Patrick Michnal told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
