Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pepe Lombardi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Serra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pepe Lombardi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Pepe Lombardi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Matt Serra's chin.
