Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Justin Credible (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George St Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Credible comes to the cage accompanied by Du Hast. Justin Credible had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. Justin Credible has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
