Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Severn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thorir Ingarsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ken Severn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. Ken Severn could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Thorir Ingarsson's chin.
