Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Leben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and American Fedor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). American Fedor 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. Michael Leben looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
