Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Ester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirek Szymaniak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greg Ester had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
