Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Lappin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cal Tennant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Lappin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Cal Tennant has the eye of the tiger tonight.
