Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wanderley Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wanderley Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Chris Jenkins has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
