Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hysse Berg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Lister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dean Lister struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.8lbs 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. Dean Lister will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
