Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between king bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Action Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Action Jackson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.5lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
