Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Wagner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sith Kamakazi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sith Kamakazi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sith Kamakazi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
