Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Thoressen (ranked 3051 p4p, 2567 weight class) and Ryan Henderson (ranked 367 p4p, 313 weight class). Magnus Thoressen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, 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. Magnus Thoressen looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
