Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Renato Ibanez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Maia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demian Maia struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.4lbs 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. Demian Maia will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
