Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiago Jorge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Banner Bo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jorge might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tropa de Elite. Banner Bo struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
