Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Taylor Dunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinto Rage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taylor Dunn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Shinto Rage told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
