Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charm Demarsh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Maxwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maxwell is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - Boogie Man. Jason Maxwell struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.5lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
