Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamal Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and joe d (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jamal Smith 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. This should be fireworks!
