Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Osuka Kasumia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Bassi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruno Bassi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Osuka Kasumia has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
