Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cristobal Galvao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peeeers Mies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cristobal Galvao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.9lbs, 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. Cristobal Galvao has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
