Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Norris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Craig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chuck Norris had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
