Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Min Halloway (ranked 3735 p4p, 298 weight class) and DeMario Valdez (ranked 1906 p4p, 186 weight class). Valdez has chosen Era - Ameno as his entrance music. DeMario Valdez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.7lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
