Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jamir Inumerable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitor Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Inumerable comes to the cage accompanied by Wishmaster-nightwish. Jamir Inumerable had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.7lbs, 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. Jamir Inumerable could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Vitor Silva 's chin.
