Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lewis (ranked 1270 p4p, 1531 weight class) and Quinton Flynn (ranked 168 p4p, 199 weight class). Lewis comes to the cage accompanied by DMX - Slippin. Kyle Lewis had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
