Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Suzy Animale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Marlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brian Marlin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.3lbs 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. Suzy Animale looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
