Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dave Whitewas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Lennon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dave Whitewas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.7lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
