Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Denard Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choo Chopeng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Choo Chopeng struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.1lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
