Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nich DiMa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Sheppards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nich DiMa had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Carl Sheppards will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
