Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pyrrhus Epirus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergio Moreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sergio Moreira struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sergio Moreira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
