Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Allen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steve Hill struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs 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. Marcus Allen looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
