Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Troy Cashman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mick Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troy Cashman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
