Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jacques La Haine (ranked 1728 p4p, 208 weight class) and Mad Dog Iii (ranked 659 p4p, 85 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think La Haine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cut Killer - Nique La Police. Jacques La Haine had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
