Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taz Fodido (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaw Maxwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taz Fodido had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
