Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jared Donisvitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Rouge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alex Rouge struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
