Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris John (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Pastrnak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris John had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Chris John has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
