Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kimmo Peramaki (ranked 315 p4p, 492 weight class) and Mickey Mfer (ranked 38 p4p, 61 weight class). Kimmo Peramaki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Kimmo Peramaki has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
