Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Lennon (ranked 1887 p4p, 1331 weight class) and Klaus Chugman (ranked 100 p4p, 74 weight class). John Lennon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. John Lennon has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
