Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ian Dabest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wesley Demand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ian Dabest had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
