Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lord Set (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Punchy McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lord Set had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. Punchy McGee has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
