Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stu Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ulaf Bergstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivanov comes to the ring accompanied by Follow the Tears. Ulaf Bergstrom struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.5lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
