Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zhan Jiang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santos comes to the cage accompanied by Cidinho & Doca - Rap Das Armas. Bruno Santos 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
