Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dominick Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Florian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dominick Cruz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
