Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robin Yount (ranked 1641 p4p, 227 weight class) and Shark Attack (ranked 1348 p4p, 186 weight class). Shark Attack struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
