Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harris Mint (ranked 6122 p4p, 24984 weight class) and Naghi Ghanbari (ranked 597 p4p, 682 weight class). Mint comes to the cage accompanied by Pigs - Cypress Hill. Naghi Ghanbari struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.8lbs 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. 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.
