Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Steve McAdams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Rolovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nick Rolovich struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Steve McAdams has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
