Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pika Chu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gotta Catch Em All. Tom Hardy struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs 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. Tom Hardy will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
