Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonas Justesen (ranked 2792 p4p, 309 weight class) and Cliff Rigano (ranked 2121 p4p, 254 weight class). Jonas Justesen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
