Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dominick Cruise (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frodo Baggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dominick Cruise had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. Dominick Cruise has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
