Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Raphael Adamson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Holm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raphael Adamson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Jacob Holm is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
