Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tenshou Miura (ranked 3930 p4p, 3855 weight class) and Vix Muller (ranked 230 p4p, 228 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. Tenshou Miura came in at 136.0 and Vix Muller came in at 136.9 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Tenshou Miura looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
