Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Lyon (ranked 3978 p4p, 442 weight class) and Blake Westcutt (ranked 3795 p4p, 426 weight class). Westcutt has chosen Nick Nolan - Life of Sin as his entrance music. Mohammed Lyon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Blake Westcutt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
