Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonard Rockstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rockstein comes to the cage accompanied by I'm just a Rock 'n' Roll Clown - Dr Rockzo. Leonard Rockstein had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.9lbs, 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 a great matchup!
