Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Varicella Zoster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renda Trimm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Varicella Zoster had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.8lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
