Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ronald Dump (ranked 6323 p4p, 2139 weight class) and Dokuro Kunimatsu (ranked 575 p4p, 253 weight class). Ronald Dump had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Ronald Dump has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
