Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Geebro Jonson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lindomar Targaryen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Geebro Jonson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. Lindomar Targaryen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
