Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Piney Winston (ranked 3359 p4p, 3090 weight class) and Tua Graves (ranked 377 p4p, 350 weight class). Piney Winston had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Piney Winston has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
