Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Lobtov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrey Lobtov struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. Andrey Lobtov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
