Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Punchers Chance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jordan Smith struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.2lbs 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. Punchers Chance could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jordan Smith's chin.
