Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rubiao Macarenco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and rafael borges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rubiao Macarenco had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.1lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
