Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carl Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Acton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Carl Tyson came in at 157.8 and Frank Acton came in at 156.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
