Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Volta Polotski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and tristram Griswold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Volta Polotski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Volta Polotski has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
