Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Igor Krinov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moishe Kaplan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Igor Krinov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, 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. Igor Krinov has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
