Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damien Danielson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Shine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Damien Danielson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. Sun Shine is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
