Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Win Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Grillz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Win Richards had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
