Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shael Connen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcin Kaminski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shael Connen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Marcin Kaminski has the eye of the tiger tonight.
