Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Yikes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Chainsaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

He only made it down to 172.9lbs 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. Kyle Yikes has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
