Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Canelo Jhonson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blanket Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bad. Canelo Jhonson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Canelo Jhonson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
