Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cesar James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cesar James had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.0lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
