Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Highsmith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Bama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bama has chosen my life as his entrance music. Alonzo Highsmith had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.2lbs, 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. Chris Bama is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
