Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Psiho Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Summers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borec comes to the cage accompanied by Carl orff - o fortuna. Mark Summers struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.0lbs 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. Mark Summers will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
