Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Bischof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Gerards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe Bischof had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Tommy Gerards enters the cage!
