Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mehdi Kanaani (ranked 2140 p4p, 1934 weight class) and Sebastion Lynar (ranked 198 p4p, 180 weight class). Kanaani comes to the cage accompanied by Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang. Mehdi Kanaani had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Sebastion Lynar told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
