Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alan King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otto Stewart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stewart has chosen Rush- Tom Sawyer as his entrance music. Alan King had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
