Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Dougles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Lesner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frank Lesner struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.4lbs 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. Frank Lesner has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
