Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Geebro Jonson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sunan Chatichai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Geebro Jonson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Sunan Chatichai has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
