Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Claes Fleming (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Calzaghe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calzaghe has chosen The Pride of Wales as his entrance music. Claes Fleming 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
