Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Franko De Cremonesi (ranked 3173 p4p, 2919 weight class) and Dan Diego (ranked 265 p4p, 244 weight class). De Cremonesi comes to the cage accompanied by Maniac (Eurobeat Remix). Franko De Cremonesi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
