Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Andersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donald Brevik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frank Andersson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Frank Andersson has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
