Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richie Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodgers Owen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richie Carter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.7lbs, 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. Richie Carter looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
