Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Kirjinova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Allen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mark Allen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.5lbs 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. Mark Allen is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
