Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juhani Jarvela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. John Smith came in at 187.1 and Juhani Jarvela came in at 186.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Juhani Jarvela is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
