Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rich Blue Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Tantay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rich Blue Steel 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.
