Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Jack (ranked 3488 p4p, 351 weight class) and Iosif Cobzone (ranked 4023 p4p, 406 weight class). Joe Jack had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.2lbs, 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. Iosif Cobzone will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
