Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Guardian Storn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renan Fagundes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guardian Storn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Renan Fagundes has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
