Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Seth Probert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Caholic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seth Probert had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.6lbs, 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. Al Caholic acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
