Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Camilo Bolinhas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mo Kendo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bolinhas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Guns n' Roses - Mr. Brownstone. Camilo Bolinhas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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 Camilo Bolinhas has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
