Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Campos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Block (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lucas Campos had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
