Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus of Nazareth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Luiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jesus of Nazareth had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
