Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Smiff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Middleton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smiff's entrance music is New born. A fine choice. William Middleton struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. William Middleton has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
