The main event is ON!

•Mike Kyle vs. Fabricio Werdum 265 – Kyle looking lean hits the scale @ 219lbs. Kyle is cornered by Bobby Southworth making up the all ass team! Werdum steps on the scale looking in great condition and his weight is 228. Werdum has that chute boxe look in his eye.

•Jay Hieron vs. Jesse Taylor 170 – Heiron comes in a pound under @ 169lbs. Taylor was actually over @ 172lbs. He now has 2 hours to drop a pound. Looks like it wont be an issue. Undercard fighters next.
