Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kim Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ned Masterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim Jong had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.0lbs, 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. Ned Masterson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
