Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Yager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fredrick Altright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyle Yager had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.1lbs, 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 don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
