Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justin Andrews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uriah Small (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Justin Andrews had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Justin Andrews could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Uriah Small's chin.
