Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Yaroslav (ranked 3900 p4p, 3647 weight class) and Don Gable (ranked 379 p4p, 359 weight class). Vladimir Yaroslav had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
