Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Winters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calvin Carter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. John Winters has the eye of the tiger tonight.
