Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexandr Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dutch Blaze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dutch Blaze struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.9lbs 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.
