Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Leo Cristophe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Foe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leo Cristophe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.6lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
