Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Male Stripper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikey Capone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Male Stripper had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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!
