Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between David Willaims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dangoro Gigaiath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). David Willaims had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. Dangoro Gigaiath will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Fabricio Dias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konji Yamaski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dias might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Marcelo D2 & Claudia - Desabafo / Deixa Eu Dizer. Konji Yamaski struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.7lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
