Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Russell Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kromog The Terror Of The Island (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russell Johnson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
