Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jovani Hendricks (ranked 3284 p4p, 4997 weight class) and Reynaldo Barber (ranked 206 p4p, 271 weight class). Jovani Hendricks had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Jovani Hendricks has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
