Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leon Witcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leon Witcher had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Leon Witcher has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
