Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Maik Taison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lauri Puukko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maik Taison had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. The key to victory for Maik Taison has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
