Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nemanja Kenitov (ranked 25075 p4p, 3653 weight class) and Micahel Anderson (ranked 746 p4p, 451 weight class).

He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Micahel Anderson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
