Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Suka Blitzkilf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sung Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim has chosen Ode to General Kim Il Sung as his entrance music. Suka Blitzkilf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
