Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kamil Camillus (ranked 6653 p4p, 565 weight class) and Arthur Dayne (ranked 2575 p4p, 291 weight class). Kamil Camillus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, 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. Kamil Camillus could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Arthur Dayne's chin.
