Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juice Pigg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bernard Kisky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Juice Pigg had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.3lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
