Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hannu Haapana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hannu Haapana had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, 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. Hannu Haapana looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

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.
