Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Luke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Burt Fangle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jeffrey Luke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. The key to victory for Jeffrey Luke has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
