Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk North (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sunny Lafeye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kirk North had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.8lbs, 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. Kirk North has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
