Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Preston Lacy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doctor Rockzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Preston Lacy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
