Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Art Crocker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Van Buuren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Art Crocker had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.2lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
