Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jacky Blue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Thorsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jon Thorsen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jon Thorsen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
