Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Harver Danjah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. Harver Danjah came in at 188.0 and Tim Duggan came in at 186.4 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Harver Danjah could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tim Duggan's chin.
