Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Dawsari (ranked 2707 p4p, 296 weight class) and Arnold Harrison (ranked 3019 p4p, 326 weight class). Harrison has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Arnold Harrison will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
