Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Adam Manson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiny Timmy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam Manson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, 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. Adam Manson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
