Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Street Cred (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stran Gler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cred comes to the cage accompanied by Stronger. Street Cred had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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 fireworks!
