Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dave Brown (ranked 3359 p4p, 366 weight class) and Bruce Kang (ranked 4219 p4p, 433 weight class). Dave Brown had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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. Bruce Kang has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
