Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Pinigin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Tysinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pavel Pinigin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.3lbs, 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. Marcus Tysinger is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
