Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Arlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). East has chosen Hip Hop-Dead Prez as his entrance music. Andrei Arlovski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. Andrei Arlovski could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Nick East's chin.
