Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ike Quartey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ted Nugget (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ike Quartey had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Ike Quartey has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
