Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rico Rodriguez (ranked 4584 p4p, 4197 weight class) and Memphis Wilcox (ranked 262 p4p, 252 weight class). Rico Rodriguez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
