Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alan Dorkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lombardo Limba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dorkin comes to the cage accompanied by Duelling Banjos. Limba has chosen The Prodigy - Voodoo People as his entrance music. Alan Dorkin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Alan Dorkin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
