Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeeves Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steve Collins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.1lbs, 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. Jeeves Smith looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
