Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andreas Burns (ranked 4292 p4p, 5125 weight class) and Darian Dean (ranked 430 p4p, 475 weight class). Darian Dean struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
