Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Branko Teixeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Ellis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Branko Teixeira had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
