Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damian Dilbrandt (ranked 2121 p4p, 3265 weight class) and Doko Dokov (ranked 221 p4p, 325 weight class). Doko Dokov struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.2lbs 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
