Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Laurent Gardan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chung Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gardan comes to the cage accompanied by AC/DC - If You Want Blood. Chung Kim struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
