7 Pounds

Other than that I am pretty excited about the main card.

Cyborg weighs in at 150 pounds, cleared to fight by commision, bout with Akano still unlikely

Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos has just re-weighed in at 150 pounds to face Hitomi Akano, which is a half pound above the maximum limit set previously this evening by the CSAC. However, the commission has decided to let the bout continue as planned with Cyborg at 150 pounds.

http://www.FiveOuncesOfPain.com is on the scene in San Jose where we have learned from Akano’s representatives that she is declining on the fight.

No official word as to whether the bout will proceed or not has been made as of yet.

Strikeforce officials and the two fighters’ camps negotiated to try and keep the bout in play on Friday night, but to no avail.

Akano’s manager, Shu Hirata, told Sherdog.com that the promotion offered to pay Akano her win bonus regardless of the fight’s outcome, along with two more bouts guaranteed on her contract.

Hirata said Akano’s decision was about more than the money though.

“Gina [Carano] never makes weight, but they make everybody fight. It's not fair,” said Hirata. “I think it’s really about time that we have to set the precedent that you should really make the weight.”


---That sucks but atleast someone finally took a stand! Make weight!
