Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eric Sutter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Twister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eric Sutter 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. This should be a great matchup!
