Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ooga Booga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Jordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ooga Booga had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.6lbs, 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. Ooga Booga has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
