Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mick Dolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Morsaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dolan comes to the cage accompanied by Shipping Up to Boston. Mick Dolan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
