Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikey Moutinho (ranked 4544 p4p, 5207 weight class) and George Foreman (ranked 463 p4p, 496 weight class). Mikey Moutinho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.8lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
