Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Corey Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Knoxville (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonny Knoxville struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.1lbs 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. Corey Williams could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jonny Knoxville's chin.
