Mac Keegan had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 138.3, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Hobo Garrincha was cancelled. |

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Efraim Turban (ranked 1261 p4p, 2817 weight class) and Clay Hayden (ranked 169 p4p, 320 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Turban might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nadav Guedj - Golden Boy . These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
