Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lee Chaolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kshitij Singh Negi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kshitij Singh Negi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
