Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Daley McReynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hao Ah Yu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hao Ah Yu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.4lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hao Ah Yu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
