Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Haskins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jasper Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kevin Haskins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Kevin Haskins has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
