Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Grant Gunterson (ranked 3609 p4p, 3181 weight class) and Puenglong Sitsongrit (ranked 208 p4p, 188 weight class). Grant Gunterson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
