Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Larry Fine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Fray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larry Fine had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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.
