Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Teddy Bear (ranked 2890 p4p, 275 weight class) and Christophe Dupree (ranked 1296 p4p, 154 weight class). Teddy Bear had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.2lbs, 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. Christophe Dupree has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Teddy Bear's chin.
