Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dave Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dave Savage had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.6lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
