Hans Krueger had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.9lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Montel Agious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Agious might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. Fu is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by SDJ-COMMANDOS. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
