Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Soons Sam (ranked 4265 p4p, 23765 weight class) and Adonis Banks (ranked 522 p4p, 718 weight class). Soons Sam had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
