Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Silky Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francisco Vargas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silky Johnson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, 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. Francisco Vargas is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
