Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Guy Kopec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hio Kint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hio Kint struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Guy Kopec has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
