Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Caz Deane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Seng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caz Deane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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!
