Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Doko Dokov (ranked 1699 p4p, 2313 weight class) and Richmond Belvedere (ranked 231 p4p, 302 weight class). Doko Dokov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. Richmond Belvedere told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
