Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Flex Legs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Barford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flex Legs had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Flex Legs has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
